Data Migration Overview

To migrate your existing TRAVERSE data into TRAVERSE version 10 databases, use the TRAVERSE Data Migration Wizard. The Wizard uses Data Transformation Services (DTS) technology for this process. DTS technology provides the tools that allow the Wizard to extract, transform, and consolidate data from several sources into single or multiple destinations. The Wizard provides you with the easiest method of copying data from previous versions of TRAVERSE by creating data migration packages.

A DTS package is an organized collection of connections, DTS tasks, DTS transformations, and workflow constraints assembled with the Wizard and saved to Microsoft SQL Server.

Each package contains one or more steps that are executed sequentially or in parallel when the package is run. When executed, the package connects to the correct data sources, copies data and database objects, transforms data, and notifies other users or processes of events. Packages can be edited, password protected, and retrieved by version.

With the Data Migration Wizard, you can currently upgrade TRAVERSE versions 8.4/9.4 Desktop or CS and OSAS version 6.1x to TRAVERSE version 10.
